2015 Reading Challenge -- Finished in a Day

84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff
This delightful little treasure of a book consists of the correspondence between an American free-lance writer and the manager of a used book store in England. Their correspondence and friendship spans 20 years. These letters reveal not only the flamboyant personality of the writer as it contrasts with the natural reticence of her bookstore friend, but also a sense of life in 1950s and 60s New York and London. Highly recommend.
